Coloured Sand Castles

We headed to the beach today and added a few drops of food colouring to the sand before we built our sandcastles - very fun! The girls loved building their colourful creations, and after we were finished all it took was a bucket of water poured over the top to wash the sand clean again.

A green aeroplane.

A red crab.

Sand washed clean after we were finished.

Please note: the girls did get some food colouring on their hands and clothes, both of which washed clean easily - just thought Id mention it as it may not wash out of more delicate clothing. Also (I know this goes without saying) please don't use anything other than food safe colouring on the sand if doing this at the beach like we did. Anything you mix in there will end up in the ocean eventually so make it safe :-)

About Me

We have two little girls in one little apartment, 'Bubble' who is five and 'Squeak' who is now three. This Blog is a collection of ideas for taking all of the little things and making big opportunities to learn and create. You don't need a big budget or a big space to learn and have fun!
It is also a place to share our ideas as we help our two girls on their learning journey with Autism.
I hope you find some helpful ideas or activities here, and feel free to leave comments or ideas of your own :-)
